Best 8 quotes of Chavela Vargas on MyQuotes

Frida Kahlo taught me a lot without ever bragging about anything.

I am a friend of life, at 80 life tells me to behave like a woman and not like an old woman.

I had to fight to be me and get respect, and to carry that stigma, for me, is pride. Carrying the tag of lesbian. I'm not bragging, I'm not preaching, but I don't deny it . I had to face society, the Church, which says damn gay people ... it's absurd. How do you judge someone who has been born that way. I did not study to be a lesbian. Neither was it taught to me. I was born this way. Since I opened my eyes to the world. I've never slept with a man. Never. I'm pure, I don't have to be ashamed ... My Gods made me so.

I was never afraid of anything because I never hurt anyone. I was always an old drunk.

What hurts is not being homosexual, but they tell it in your face as if you were a plague.

When you like something, you should do it all night long.

I was never afraid of anything because I never hurt anyone. I was always an old drunk. [Mexico City concert, June 2011]

Nobody taught me to be like this. I was born this way. Since I opened my eyes to the world, I have never slept with a man. Never. Just imagine what purity. I have nothing to be ashamed of. [2000]
